Intelligence agencies get caught red handed all the time so I wouldn't be too sure. If it was an organised group I'm sure they were careful, of course, but it only takes one fuckup.

Options are just a way of stating a view on a distribution, you can structure trades to cap risk in exchange for lower payoff and so on.

Very tasty, surprisingly delicate if you cook it right. The name black pudding is still enough to scare people off

This "something" at very least works on some level — its a self-consistent theory that fits existing data, its competitors apparently cant. Are the detractors of string theory saying we should stop doing fundamental physics entire

Keep in mind that a string theorist would probably just flip all of this on its head by pointing at the total lack of progress from their detractors.

Broadly speaking anything that does either a lot of reasonably specialized logic and medium-to-high performance broad work will have an FPGA in it (unless its made in very high volumes in which case it may be an ASIC, ditto for very high pe

My ipad has 8 cores executing about 4 to 6 billion instructions a second these days (3GHz at a most ipc of about two)

Some open source types really hate vendoring on some level (it's hard to say if it's genuinely technical or just an immune system turning on) — not everything supports it that well (e.g. python really doesn't, it's terri

The thing is too: Gitlab and GitHub CI are still kind of crap unless you put a bunch of work into them (gitlab in particular really don't what they're doing; they're not dumb but they aren't good enough). Sell a workflow

They will also probably homogenise so well that we might not need adds. AI will be amazing for some and a brutal variance minimiser for others.

I think Hegel (not sure) commented that the next century would be that of the USA and Russia on his deathbed (i.e. early 1800s) or something to that effect

They're always deterministic in some sense (and as long as your OS respects the rounding mode after a context switch properly). This might sound pedantic but it determines how we think about floats — the behaviour is specified quite

Something the intro of this video missed a little bit is that most derivatives are linear — no optionality. Options are a relatively tiny market, but are nonetheles key to reasoning about markets.

This is why options traders (prototypical ones at least, I suspect most trading is still directional) trade on the implied volatility, as a projection of future volatility. You take a view on volatility by buying or selling an option, if yo
